How did I let Rhino 8 know that I don’t want to save the texture ever?
I need this option to be disabled all the time, but Rhino keeps activating it. Rhino 7 remember my choice and respect it.
A post was split to a new topic: Last used file extension is not saved
hi @fernando_rentas1 this change was made because people were loosing bitmaps. Would a scripted version for Save work for you?
This issue is logged as RH-80331 Save - keep the texture setting
I added this thread
Yes, A scripted version for save will work for me.
Do you have one?
Thank you!
-_Save _SaveTextures=no _Browse
Once the file is saved, to just save with no further interaction -
-Save SaveTextures=No Enter

Thank you guys!
@fernando_rentas1 - can you describe the context where this is useful? There is some pushback from the developers who are concerneed that it will be too easy, with a per file ssetting, to accidentally lose textures. It would be helpful to understand how you use saving without textures.

I use V-Ray and only V-Ray materials. So, I have a materials library with all the textures in one location in my HD. All textures are linked properly and when I save the file, it re-rave all my texture in the same location as the Rhino file. Meaning that I have a bunch of textures that I don’t need. Why I would like Rhino to save all my textures iuf I already have them in my HD in the texture or materials library?
Not having the ability to Rhino remember that I want the Save button unchecked as in Rhino 7 is very annoying. Because I will have a message asking me all the time if I want to save 560 MB of textures or whatever. I just need Rhino to remember that I un-checked that option.
Right now Rhino do not remember that I disable that option and keep asking me everytime save the file.

Hi Fernando, Thanks, that was what I surmised…

The annoying thing about the saved textures is that RH8 exports all textures to a directory when I open the file again. So my CAD directory is polluted with strange directories. I prefer to collect all the textures in one directory so that all the different visualization tools have one access point…thats why i use linked textures…and id really like RH to accept this 
it says:
- Search the following settings in Advanced settings to change the behaviors for embedded images.EmbedFileDocumentDefault (True) enables or (False) disables the “Save textures” checkbox for new Rhino models.NeverEmbedFiles (True) hides the “Save textures” checkbox and stops embedding images in Rhino models.AlwaysUnpackEmbeddedFilesToTemp (True) moves the *embedded_files folder from next to 3dm to the [TEMP] folder.
But i can not find this option… Is the documentation wrong or do i do something not right? Or have you actually not only changed the default behavior, but actually removed this option? Please put it back 
Hi Tobias -
That bug was recently fixed. Please post your Rhino SystemInfo if you are still running into this.

It seems not to do this anymore with Rhino 8 SR6 2024-4-10 (Rhino 8, 8.6.24101.05001)
Thank you for the hint!
Since we have a multiplatform office, does this also apply to Macs?
Update:
Now it happened again. The file i opened was created on another system.
The File Header says:
3D Geometry File Format 80 © Rhinoceros 8.6 - Kommerziell, build 2024-04-10 - (compiled Apr 10 2024)

Hi Tobias -
Yes, it does.

Hi Tobias -
→ RH-81534 Rendering Textures: Importing 3dm file extracts embedded files to parent 3dm folder
It looks like this fix went into 8.8. Provided everything goes as planned, the first public release of 8.8 as a release candidate will be on Tuesday next week.

despite the Problem will be solved soon, can i delete all these “embedded textures” directories or will the texture-paths in the 3dm files be broken then?
Hi Tobias -
The way I understand this, as long as Renderer Development Kit.Settings.RendererSupport.NeverEmbedFiles is set to False, textures are saved in the 3dm file. They are only unpacked when a file is opened so that Rhino and it’s plug-ins can access image files on disk. When those folders are deleted, they will be recreated when the file is opened again.
I’d make sure to have the necessary backups of important files before deleting things…

Thank You for the help, Wim
